Bab 176: Doubled

Truthfully, Essenla's plan wasn't that crazy. It might have been because Morne had done far more desperate and insane things in his past, or just because Morne himself was crazy, but it sounded solid.

Morne and Essenla raised their spears and started toward the closest of the four encirclements.

The short time they had spent planning was enough for two of the Runners to break free of their prisons and jump into the main group of elves, while the remaining two mutants were close to doing the same.

  Morne and Essenla joined the first encirclement just as the Runner within broke free, scrabbling onto and over the shoulders of an elf and ripping the poor bastard's head off as it jumped away.

Morne stepped to the side, placing himself in its trajectory, and thrust his spear forward. He'd love to see the mutant shrug this off.
